Lucid Dream Secrets

Monday, August 20, 2012

Have you ever heard stories from people about having an out of body
experience? Basically, that is what you call an astral projection. As
crazy as it may sound, but it's something that's proven to be possible.
The main concept of this is to let the astral body out and fully active
while the physical body of a person is put to a sleep state.

Through
that astral body of yours, you will be able to experience things that
are way beyond what your physical body can. It will allow you to see
other forms of existences of the world that cannot be seen by the eyes
alone. Nevertheless, dealing with this kind of activity can be quite
serious, or dangerous that is. But if you're desperate enough to at
least have a sneak of such a phenomenal experience, let us discuss the
most effective and safest ways as to how to have an out of body experience.

There are a couple of things that you need to keep in mind. One of which
would be the need to have your mind kept conscious while having an
astral body projection. This can be quite a challenge. However, the real
secret to it would be having a fully focused state. As a tip, take
preparatory measures that can improve pure focus or concentration. A
good one would be yoga exercises which are all designed to attain a
peaceful mind. As a matter of fact, having an out of body experience is
something that is covered with the usual yoga club which makes it an
ideal precautionary option.

Now that you know the right preparations to take, let's deal with the
actual thing, shall we? First things first, find a spot within your home
where silence is the reigning factor. Since this involves putting you
down in a half asleep state, you will need something to rest your body
on. However, make sure that it is not a bed because it will make you
fall fully asleep which would mean a lot of hazards on your end. For
instance, your astral body may not be able to come back to your physical
body unless someone tries to wake you up. So, be warned.

Use a chair
instead that is, of course attached with an arm support. Be in a sitting
position, close your eyes and free your mind from any sort of mental
chatter. This can be quite a challenge, but practice makes perfect.
Tense both of your feet for 10 to 20 seconds, releasing it thereafter.
Inhale and exhale very calmly. Sooner or later, you will feel like your
body's getting heavy while everything's just slowing down.

This is what
you call the transition phase where your mind is active while your body
is in a sleep state. In order to fully separate your astral and physical
body, try to imagine as if you're trying to grasp on to something
that's above using your hands which are both imaginary that is. This
helps exert enough amount of pressure to forcibly separate your astral
body from the physical.

After an astral body projection, it will definitely turn out as an
extreme experience that you can never forget. Nevertheless, through a
fully relaxed mind and by turning off all of those unnecessary thoughts,
having an out of body experience can be done easily and with pure
safety. To gain extra security, make sure you do it with the presence of
another party.

Lucid dreaming used to be associated with sexual fantasies. After some
time, the term started encompassing the process of gaining instant
gratification from the total control of dreams. While these are not
necessarily incorrect, these views are the reason for the misconception
of the idea behind lucid dreaming.

How to Have Lucid Dreams

There are three points that you need to remember when you want
experience the uncanny trance. One, lucid dreaming entails the ability
to be conscious while dreaming. It requires the mind to be awake while
the body is in slumber. As such, everything inside the dream is vivid,
seemingly real, and tangible.

You should draw the difference between being mere spectator of events from actually participating in the turnout of scenes.

Another goal is to become self-ware while being in trance. You should
strive to attain a full mental direction to decide how the dream would
unfold. It is imperative to have power over your movements. Control the
dream instead of allowing the dream to control you.

It is also important to remember that being in charge is simply the tip
of the iceberg. You may fly, make love to someone, create a setting, or
summon personalities, but there's more to lucid dreaming. With complex
techniques, you may also pattern a dream that speaks "unconscious
messages" to you.

Most individuals are often overwhelmed on their first few attempts to
have lucid dreams. As such, it is best to take tiny steps at a time.
Here are some basic lucid dreaming techniques to start with.

Meditation

As you approach the half-sleep state, be sure to explore your thoughts.
Relax your mind and lie still while allowing your mind to drift. Avoid
controlling the stream of thoughts. Strive to keep your mind awake as
your body starts to falls asleep. It is important to keep your eyes shut
and frozen. Avoid moving your lids or rolling your eyeballs.

This is a deep relaxing technique. It invites out of the body
experience, hallucinations, and flashing of dream-like scenes. This
night-time meditation also enhances one's visualization skills and
self-awareness.

As you master this technique, it is easy to wake your mind amidst a lucid dream.

Dream Recall

Not everyone can remember a dream. Right from the moment you wake up,
you'd only recall snippets of scenes which seem to be unrelated and with
a blurred story. Experts suggest that you keep a dream journal and keep
track of everything inside the trance each morning. As your mind gets
used to the practice of dream recall, you'll find the spontaneous
occurrence of lucid dreams more frequent.

Incubating the Lucid Dream

There are loads of methods to induce the episode of a lucid dream. It
can range from simply planning to have a lucid trance to meditation
before sleeping. Daydreaming intently also triggers the subconscious
mind to produce scenes in the dream that you are wishing to see. Helping
this part of mind "memorize" episodes and landscapes allows you to see
ideal things while lucid dreaming.
